In today’s art podcast  we’re going to chat about art resistance and how to resist it! What is art resistance: Art resistance is very different to art block, it’s a much more temporary thing. It’s the procrastination side of not making art. Like when you have a day when you plan to paint and then find 100 different things you can do before you actually make a start.ShownotesYou can find the shownotes for this episode at https://kickinthecreatives.com/art-resistance/Our Sponsor Evolve ArtThis podcast is sponsored by Evolve.

Ep 134 Lets Talk Abstract Art

Today’s art podcast is an unusual one. All we know, is that we have both been going through an art block and instead of talking about it between ourselves as we’d normally do, we thought we would save our chat and share it with you.

And the reality is, that not all art comes easily and not all artists always feel like painting.ShownotesYou can find the shownotes for this episode at Our Art ChallengesWe have 3 challenges every month: https://kickinthecreatives.com/all-creative-challenges/On Social MediaInstagram | Facebook Group Our Sponsor This episode is sponsored by Magic Mind is a productivity shot, but unlike other energy drinks, Magic Mind’s benefits don’t come from excessive amounts of stimulating compounds such as caffeine.

Ep 131 The Joys of Doodling: How Drawing for Fun Can Boost Your Creativity

In today’s art podcast we are going to talk about A.I. (artificial intelligence) for artists. When Tara suggested this topic, I was not keen. Frankly I’ve always been wildly opposed to AI, for so many reasons, and to be honest, I still am, and I’ll go in to the reasons why later on. But, I can’t deny, despite my huge reservations, I do recognise that it can be really useful for some people.

Ep 129 Finding your Art Niche

Kick in The Creatives Podcast - We talk Creativity, Art and Writing with Creative Challenges and GossipTara and Sandra, met by happy accident. Tara had been listening to a Podcast that Sandra just happened to be being interviewed on, and having her own podcast at the time, she invited Sandra to be a guest. The two of them quickly hit it off and went on chatting, long after the recording had stopped… And they haven’t shut up since!Tara was a whizz at idea generation, but having been a graphic designer for 25 years, she had long lost her connection with a ‘real’ pencil.Sandra, on the other hand, was and still is, a realism painter, yet she had the inability to just ‘let go’ in her sketchbook.Over the following weeks, they began setting each other creative challenges. As a result, Tara rekindled her love for drawing by hand, and Sandra horrified to be handed a ‘chunky marker’ to draw with by Tara, was forced to let go of her pedantic sketching style and just ‘have fun in her sketchbook.’It was clear that the two of them as a duo, were a good influence on each other and having finally met in the flesh, they became firm friends. Knowing the power that creative challenges had held for them, they decided that they wanted to help other people find and embrace their creative side and just ‘have a go.’

In today’s art podcast we are going to talk about how to get back on track with your art after taking a break. And we thought this would be quite a good episode to do at this time of year, because like a lot of people, we took a break over Christmas, and it took us a while to get back into the swing of things.

We both came across Carmel at around the same time but on different social media platforms. We were immediate fans. Her paintings are incredibly beautiful and unique.

I enjoy each episode with Sandra and Tara. Their enthusiasm and carefree banter is a lot of fun to listen to while I’m creating or even driving. It’s fun to hear them explore their successes and fears as they explore each step together as artists. A great listen for anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Great Laughs and Conversation

Episode 29

Kick in The Creatives Podcast - We talk Creativity, Art and Writing with Creative Challenges and Gossip Tara and Sandra, met by happy accident. Tara had been listening to a Podcast that Sandra just happened to be being interviewed on, and having her own podcast at the time, she invited Sandra to be a guest. The two of them quickly hit it off and went on chatting, long after the recording had stopped… And they haven’t shut up since! Tara was a whizz at idea generation, but having been a graphic designer for 25 years, she had long lost her connection with a ‘real’ pencil. Sandra, on the other hand, was and still is, a realism painter, yet she had the inability to just ‘let go’ in her sketchbook. Over the following weeks, they began setting each other creative challenges. As a result, Tara rekindled her love for drawing by hand, and Sandra horrified to be handed a ‘chunky marker’ to draw with by Tara, was forced to let go of her pedantic sketching style and just ‘have fun in her sketchbook.’ It was clear that the two of them as a duo, were a good influence on each other and having finally met in the flesh, they became firm friends. Knowing the power that creative challenges had held for them, they decided that they wanted to help other people find and embrace their creative side and just ‘have a go.’

And now she has gone back to her first love which is painting.

This podcast is a little different to our normal episodes in the fact that it’s an “Ask us Anything” Christmas Special. Well, in fact, it’s part one of a Christmas Special. Now whether that’s because you asked us too many questions or Sandra and I talk way too much I will let you decide. Personally, I think it’s the former. But anyway Part 2 will air on the 23rd of December, so you can listen while you slurp on a little Eggnog or snog your significant other under the mistletoe (that’s going to be a very long kiss)! Don't forget to listen out for Part 2 of the "Ask us Anything Christmas Special”on the 23rd of December. The normal podcast will resume on the 6th January and we also have some interesting guests coming up in the new year.

Today we are talking about fun things you can do with a creative friend. Art can be a solitary activity, but it needn’t always be that way. Particularly now we have the internet. More than ever before we can connect with other creative people and find fun things to do together without even having to meet! In fact, Sandra and I didn’t meet in person for at least a year.

Ep 47 Fun Things You Can Do with a Creative Friend

Today we are talking about drawing from life versus drawing from photos and which is best. And I think we know, now more than ever before, what a different skill drawing from life is since we started doing a lot more sketching trips out and about. It’s really easy to rely on photo’s for practice, and while there’s nothing wrong with drawing from photos, it’s important to also practise drawing from life as much as you can.
